As far as I can tell it's a limitation of the phone, not of Asterisk. 
Most phones seem to implement the type of transfer you are wanting to do
as a special form of a "3-way call".  The phone you have doesn't support
3-way calls as documented on:
http://www.grandstream.com/Product_Spec.pdf

Other IP phones like the Cisco DO support 3-way calling and support
supervised/consultative transfers (which is the term for what you want
to do)
